"Seriously, stop it. This is not helpful. It's not what the food is, it's overall calories and macros. As long as a person eats in a calorie deficit, the pounds will come off, it doesn't matter what the food being consumed is."

I get that and appreciate your earlier humor. I do think that the concerns over homework are a bit overblown, though I also appreciate a divergent view from another parent who is also concerned about her child's success.

Just say "newds" in a thread and they'll show up in your in inbox. It's like magic. Oh, wait.

Watcha got? Any artsy newds? I'm all for supporting the arts. :tongue:

We are talking 1 lousy hour here. That's hardly going to rob a 5 year old of her childhood. I absolutely agree that kids need to be active and catch bugs, and I agree that there is a tipping point, but the OP was about 1 hour for a 5 year old. I just don't see that as excessive.

I think it's time to crack open a beer, put my feet on my desk, and watch this continue.

That must suck. I'm truly sorry

That's adorable. Did you figure out that rhyme on your own? I knew you could

You missed the point I made specifically about certain types of attorneys having more freedom than others. And, everything else I wrote. It's like speaking down to a three year old, but hey you are a "model." lol So there's that. You all are a pretty stupid bunch. #waitingonstrike

You don't? That's not very West Coast of you

You have no idea what my social constructs are nor should you assume that I am religious or anti-tattoo solely because I didn't want to follow you into your rabbit hole discussion of religion and ethics. One can judge someone pretty severely while holding liberal political views, as you seem to be demonstrating quite…

I love misdirected anger in 30 somethings

Judging is wrong only if it's judging those who choose to stick out.

Enjoy your off topic diatribe about religion, ethics, and morality. Oh, and Canada.

Not sure about how moral superiority or religious extremism enters into the job search equation. Probably best to leave your religion off your resume. Hope that helps. In any event, the Canadian professionals I've worked with are every bit as conservative (in dress and demeanor) as their American counterparts. As for Japan…

Yea, only in America would a facial tattoo prevent you from working in certain jobs. The rest of the world, especially Canada, is so much more open minded, yada yada yada. Go try to stay at a hotel or work out at a gym in Japan with a facial tattoo, let alone find a job. Try to get a job in banking in Toronto for that…

I would have to draw the line at facial tattoos and other obvious body modifications such as horns. It's not that I'm judging but I might be questioning your judgment. As for me? I'm pretty innocuous IRL. I barely even take my shirt off except to run or swim. Maybe my fondness for cargo shorts and flip flops, or my…

My thoughts: talk to a lawyer about liability issues, both in terms of proper background checks for drivers, but also vehicle service and training, and appropriate waivers in your contracts. Also check the availability and cost of liability insurance coverage.

I'm convinced. Definitely time to stop pushing kids in math and science.

QFT This is why I always have plenty of beer in my fridge

I forgot about beer recommendations. I put a high value on those.

Yep, that's it. Less work is more, and it's study and school work that are making our kids fat. I'm convinced. Oh, and I feel sorry for everyone else's children too.

Hitler!

I took her "cocky" reference your insensitive use of "big-headed" as affronts to men everywhere and the equivalent of eye rape. You both should take sensitivity training.

You would be amazed by the number of nudez the ladies send around on here. Propping up damaged egos gets just as tiring for the men.

Interact. Don't be BSC. Have a sense of humor.

I'm sorry, but no. There is nothing wrong with parents helping their kids learn and we are not talking about "hours" of homework for 5 year olds, only an hour or less, and my child is perfectly capable of doing her own homework. We do make sure she does it, help where necessary, and we check it. If that disadvantages some…

Yes, best of luck, OP. I'm off to check the wear on my the treads.
